How Brits cope in a heatwave (as told through Twitter)

Senior Writer

Let's face it, us Brits are always going to complain about the unpredictable British weather.

Often it's too cold, wet or windy. However, what happens when that rare phenomenon you call summer arrives on our island? I took to Twitter to find out — and it appears the country turns into chaos. #heatwaveuk

Our mentality has no logic to it.

Next year, if a British person moans about never having a good summer in the UK, I will strangle them! We've had a ton of boiling days this year and now i'm totally over it. BRING BACK THE SNOW!! #HeatwaveUKpic.twitter.com/psnYMWNbeL

99% of conversations involve complaining about how hot you are whilst applying aloe vera to sunburn. You can spot the Brit abroad a mile off...

Way too hot too sleep. And can people please stop posting tweets and pics of how they are enjoying the summer. Some people have no choice but to work in boiling hot conditions. Please be mindful. #heatwaveuk#heatwave#hotweather#sweaty
